Background

About Steve Elkin

I like to engage in practical work in the service of a mission, alongside others who share my values. So far, my titles have been under annual fund, major gifts, foundation/government relations, and sponsored research. However, my responsibilities have also included research, stewardship, planned giving, and database management to various degrees. My position for some time has been Director of Sponsored Research. I oversee the pre-award functions of a successful small liberal arts college, and have substantial responsibilities concerning compliance and award management. I've succeeded in this wide range of areas because I am committed to my work, collaborate well, communicate effectively, organize efficiently, and keep the big picture as well as all of the technical details in view. December 2022 update: I am now a Certified Research Administrator (CRA) per the Research Administrators Certification Council. Always growing professionally! January 2022 update: I'm proud to report that I earned my DELF B2 (diplôme d’études en langue française) certification from France Éducation International, via l’Alliance Française de Philadelphie.
